Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My son was diagnosed with a rare and complex medical condition at birth and by age 1 the disease was affecting his ability to breathe well. Dr. Shell was the attending Pulmonologist when we had to make the difficult decision for my son to have a tracheostomy placed. We would quickly discover that Dr. Shell is a physician who listens, advocates, follows up and effectively treats his patients. We're grateful for the supportive environment he helped create and the amazing care he provides!
